There is a rule in decorating that says "every room can use a touch of black". Black is a color that adds a focal point and a bit of sophistication.
I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly. My black pen collection is definitely in use each time I draw or paint.
I watercolored some flowers recently and while they were pretty to me -
after black was added the blooms became so much more vibrant.
Do you like to add a lot of black too?

When I learned to paint from my Dad - he always told me - a good painting is 1/6th black (or dark value) and 1/6th white (or light value) - all the rest should be midtones. And I really think he is right. I am always drawn to the paintings that have good contrasts. You achieve that with your black pen. Looks great!
The black does indeed add quite a statement. Beautiful flowers. Happy PPF. (I do use black)
This is a glorious bouquet. I love touches of black too, so it's often found in my work as well. Blessings!
Love your flowers so much,very beautiful.

Black has that special magic. Love the flowers.
Last night I was playing with a drawing my daughter did of Scooby Doo in digital paint and I was adding the black centres to the flowers on a letter, it amazed me how they just popped out of the painting.
